Chapter 559 Let Alone Herself
When Ouyang Qing noticed that Tang Jing was keeping quiet again, an urge to slap the latter washed over her. Nevertheless, she held herself back. She reminded herself that Tang Jing was her tool.
There were many risky things she could not personally do. She needed Tang Jing to do it. If anything went wrong, she could use Tang Jing as the scapegoat.
“Tang Jing, do you want to be as great as that b*tch? You were also one of the main crew of The Sound of Thunder sequel, but is there anyone who remembers you? No one. That b*tch is the only one anyone remembers. Are you willing to watch her slowly reach the sky while you remain on the ground? Are you okay with being an extra forever?”
When Ouyang Qing realized that insults and curses did not work on Tang Jing, she switched tactics and changed her tone.
However, Tang Jing’s lips were still tightly pressed together.
“What’s the matter with you? I asked you to do things, but you won’t do them. Now I’m asking you to talk, but you won’t talk!”
Anger swept over her, and she jumped to her feet.
Finally, Tang Jing quietly said, “Don’t be mad. I’ve just temporarily run out of plans.”
“I’m warning you now, Tang Jing. I have limited patience. If you still can’t do this well, I’m going to get someone else to do the job. I’ll get someone who can actually do something,” Ouyang Qing hissed.
Again, Tang Jing did not answer her.
“Fine. I’m going to talk to the other investors tomorrow and get someone else to take over your role. There are plenty of actresses on this land, and I’m going to get someone who can actually do things for me.”
Tang Jing did not know whether Ouyang Qing was speaking the truth, but she had to assume that the woman was serious.
If Ouyang Qing really replaced her with someone else, her plans would be ruined.
Hence, she said, “What do you want me to do?” Tang Jing weakly asked.
“Didn’t I tell you about it? I want you to do something to that b*tch’s kid. Once something happens to her kid, she won’t be in the mood to film anymore. Can’t you understand what I’m talking about?” Ouyang Qing bellowed.
“But I don’t have the opportunity to. I can only do something like that with an opportunity.”
“But will you do it if the opportunity comes?” Ouyang Qing questioned.
Tang Jing fell silent again.
“If you don’t do it, you won’t even get to play as a side character. On the other hand, if you do it and destroy that b*tch, then you’ll get to play the lead role. Make your choice. You have to give me an answer tonight, or else I’ll replace you with someone else,” Ouyang Qing told her.
Tang Jing knew that she could not dismiss the matter anymore because Ouyang Qing was truly anxious.
“I’ll do it if the right opportunity appears,” Tang Jing promised.
“Really? You’re going to end that b*tch’s kid’s life if you have the chance?”
“Both?”
“One’s fine.” Even one, and that b*tch will be so traumatized that she won’t be able to focus on her show. She’d be so trapped in her misery that she’ll disappear from the showbiz! By the time she digests the pain and reappears in public again, no one will recognize her. After all, there are always new people in the industry. There’s no lack of talent in the showbiz anyway.
When Ouyang Qing said those things, it was as if she could already see the way Ning Ran was going to break down. The very idea of it delighted her.
“Unfortunately, there isn’t an opportunity for us to do that,” Tang Jing said.
“We do. I’ve created the opportunity for you.” Ouyang Qing cackled.
“You did?”
“Yes. I’ve convinced a few investors, and they’ve agreed to hire Ning Ran’s daughter to play the character Fangfang. They were all agreeable with me, and they thought that this was a good idea. Moreover, the producer has agreed to pay ten million for the girl’s appearance. Ning Ran’s a penniless woman, so she’ll be tempted by the amount. I’m sure she’ll definitely say yes to this!” Ouyang Qing exclaimed.
Tang Jing’s heart skipped a beat. Has Ouyang Qing really made all the arrangements?
“But will Sir Chen agree to it? That’s the Nan family’s Little Miss. I’m sure the Nan family wouldn’t let her live a tough life out here.”
“Letting a kid film a show is a meaningful matter. If we were to look at this from just the financial angle, then yes, the Nan family would certainly not agree to it because they don’t need the money. What they don’t know is the risk involved. Furthermore, I’ve interacted with the girl before. She’s active and loves the perform, so she’ll surely be interested in the role. The Nan family dotes on her, so the chances of them agreeing to this are high,” Ouyang Qing pointed out.
Tang Jing could feel the hair standing at the back of her neck. Although she wanted to rise to the top, she never thought of hurting someone to do that.
She never thought of killing someone, let alone a child!
It was a mortifying idea.
Despite the innocent appearance Ouyang Qing had, she had an evil heart.
It seems like I have to be careful as well, or else she’ll eventually kill me, too. If she can do such a ruthless thing to a kid, why will she hesitate with me?
“What should I do?”
“The girl likes sweet stuff. As long as she sees sweet food, she won’t be able to control herself. I’ll arrange for someone to order some desserts from a bakery and add a little something to them. Bring those desserts to the film site, and that girl will certainly try them. As long as she eats it, your job is done,” Ouyang Qing replied.
Her reply made Tang Jing’s heart skip another beat. As it turned out, Ouyang Qing had already planned everything out. However, there was an obvious flaw in her plan.
If I bring the desserts to the film site, and if the pretty little girl dies from the poison in them, won’t the police look into the matter? Won’t the Nan family look into the matter?
If they start an investigation, they’d soon find out that I’m the one who brought the desserts to the site.
By then, I’d become the murderer. How can I possibly still play the lead role?
In other words, in this plan of hers, both the girl and I are doomed.
There’s no bad blood between the Nan family and me, let alone between the girl and me. If I were to end her life, mine would be over as well. Why would I do this?
Noticing that Tang Jing was deep in her thoughts, Ouyang Qing asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“What then?” Tang Jing asked.
“Then the girl dies, and that b*tch Ding Mi will have a mental breakdown. After that, you’ll be the main character in the movie. Isn’t that simple?”
“Will the police not find out who did it? Will the Nan family just leave it as that?” Tang Jing continued.
“They won’t be able to find anything. They’ll never think that there’s anything wrong with the dessert.” Ouyang Qing waved dismissively.
Tang Jing scoffed inwardly. Does she think that I’m an idiot, or does she think that the Nan family is full of idiots? Someone’s dead, and you’re really trying to tell me that they’re not going to look into the details to find out the truth? You’re clearly making me the scapegoat so that you can destroy Ning Ran!
“There’s no way they won’t be able to find out the truth. The technology that the police use nowadays is much more advanced than you think they are. They’ll run tests on the desserts, and they’ll find out that it has poison in them. Then, I’m doomed,” Tang Jing said.
“Are you scared?” Ouyang Qing stared at Tang Jing.
“Of course I am. If I’m caught, I’d have to pay with my life. Nan Chen will tear me from limb to limb. Who isn’t afraid of that? Are you not afraid of that?” Tang Jing retorted.
“If you’re scared, that means you’re not going to do it. In that case, I’ll get someone to replace you.”
“We’ll still do it, but we can use a different way in which I don’t bring the desserts there myself. That way, the police won’t be able to trace it back to me. You have to think of a way to protect me. If I’m arrested, I can’t guarantee that I won’t expose you.”
It was clear that Tang Jing was threatening Ouyang Qing as well.
Ouyang Qing hummed as she mulled over Tang Jing’s words. Although Tang Jing’s death meant nothing to her, it would be bad if she were to get caught up in the case as well. If Nan Chen found out that she was the one behind the plan, he would definitely skin her alive as well.
“So, any ideas for how we can avoid that? This is something that has to be done. If we don’t do this, Ning Ran’s career will become better and better, and in the future, you and I will reach the end of our roads. I’m fine with anything. No matter how well that b*tch’s career is, she’s still just an entertainer. On the other hand, I’m the daughter of the Ouyang family, and that’s something that won’t change. But it’s not the same for you. If you don’t use her as a stepping stone, you’d just be a side character forever.”
